Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.

Very disappointing season. Watched for Colin and Penelope but had to sit through too many other characters. What a bore.

Necesitamos un Spin-off POLIN, que sean 4 capítulos del verano, necesitamos ver qué escribió Colin sobre Penelope, ella ayudándolo con su libro, más momentos románticos e íntimos entre Polin, luna de miel y el embarazo Polin, las tres hermanas embarazadas, cómo reaccionaron las hermanas featherington al perder una por una( una escena graciosa), la relación de los cuñados featherington ,lo que decían las cartas que envió Penelope , flashback de LW como inició su primer escrito, a Peneloise como hermanas , Eloise como la tercera rueda de Polin y como tía del bebe Polin que sea su sobrino favorito y cómo reacciona al saber el nombre del bebé en su honor
